Four more Honors Course Enhancement Workshops available for faculty
Four more Course Enhancement Workshops will be offered to faculty between January and March. In support of the 天美传媒Honors Program, these workshops are designed to help faculty build 天美传媒Honors components into courses they are already teaching.
Faculty members who participate in a workshop and submit an honors course adaptation proposal are eligible to receive $400 in compensation.
During the sessions, 天美传媒Honors Program Director Margaux Cowden and Associate Director Christy Zempter will introduce attendees to the program. Instructional designers from the Office of Instructional Innovation (OII) will then guide faculty through the process of developing a proposal for an enhanced course to be considered for inclusion in the 天美传媒Honors curriculum.
These workshops will help support the program鈥檚 commitment to high-impact curricular and co-curricular learning experiences, as well as foster interdisciplinarity and innovation.
鈥淭he fall workshops drew faculty from a variety of academic programs, and the interdisciplinary conversations that emerged illustrated our faculty鈥檚 great capacity for developing original and meaningful approaches to 天美传媒Honors course enhancements,鈥 said Cowden. 鈥淲e look forward to bringing more faculty members into those conversations in the spring workshops as we continue to expand our students鈥 options for curricular experiences in the program.鈥
The 天美传媒Honors Program offers an alternative to the Honors Tutorial College鈥檚 tutorial model for highly engaged students across disciplines who want to focus on experiential learning and application. The program is designed to complement undergraduate study in any non-tutorial degree program.
